Halloween and Preschool Sunday

So this year, Andrew did not celebrate Halloween by dressing as a ninja. I was really happy he picked the ninja costume. It only cost $10. We have a total of one picture of Andrew from Halloween, and it's only relatively okay. This is not my fault. I'm going to completely throw my husband under the bus here, and I don't feel too bad about it.

First, I am not home when Andrew gets ready and leaves for school, and Halloween morning was no different. He was still in bed when I headed out the door. In Patrick's defense, I didn't remind him to take a picture of Andrew in his costume before school. So, I guess he's off the hook there. But on Wednesday night, when we went to the church for the Fall Festival, which, huge coincidence, happened to be on the same day as Halloween, I decided to let Patrick handle the picture taking. Normally, we are both running around with cameras, and I feel like we look crazy. So I thought, "He's taking his camera. I don't need mine." Mistake. Patrick doesn't take pictures he messes around with the camera settings, and randomly photographs anything in his line of sight. Which means we ended up with a lot of pictures, but none of our child. Well except this one . . .

I know, I already have 6000 pictures of Andrew, and I could easily have him don his costume again so I could photograph him. But it's not the same. Lesson learned. From now on, I'll handle the major photography.

A few weeks ago, the church that runs the school where Andrew goes to preschool had "preschool" Sunday. Since I never posted those pictures, I decided to go ahead and post them now. Patrick did take most of these so I guess there may be hope for him. We'll see.
